  • on my distant friendships

    Over the last few years a remarkable thing has happened to me. Specifically to my friendships and the people on the other ends of those friendships. It began, of course, with the event that tears my life into two pieces. Both seperate and distinct: a before and an after, except that unlike in all those...

  • on not forgetting

    Firstly, you should all clap for me because I studied THREE SOLID HOURS for my Psychology test tomorrow. So I better do good, or else Jordyn (who does occasionally refer to herself in the third person) will be way upset with herself. In other news, I found another quote. This one from Sara Zarr's...

  • this includes both bad news about moving and good news about people

    Want to know a sad fact about moving? All those friends who said they'd stay in touch with you, the ones you planned on still being friends with despite the distance of a few hundred miles between you? They aren't going to stay in touch with you. Probably not the news you want to hear, I admit...

  • on confrontation and awkwardness

    Oy wow. You guys are making me want to do a post on religion. In defense of the Bible. But that's gonna take way more brain power than I have left in me right now, so look for that at a later date. Right now I want to do a post on awkwardness. Weirdness. Miscommunications. And I hope my mom will...

  • I guess I'm feeling a little bit disheartened.

    You know those people that everybody loves? The ones who, whenever they open their mouths or simply walk into a room — hell, even poke their head around the corner — everybody bursts out into laughter and cheer and happiness galore? I'm not one of those people. I don't think I've ever been...

  • on friends

    Friendship. Wow. That's a broad category. We apply the label "friend" to a lot of people, some of them people we barely know. That kid who sits next to you in Biology, the next-door-neighbor you occasionally chat with, the distant relative you call up every so often. But when you stop to...

  • in defense of the human condition of drama

    So today as I walked through the kitchen to get a garbage bag because I was cleaning my room (floor = clean now), I heard like three seconds of whatever talk radio show my dad had on. No idea what the show was actually about, but the snippit I heard was this guy saying, "You bring up an interesting...

  • on being totally screwed up

    Seventeen. In some ways, I know, I am more together, more mature, more grown up , than other girls my age. I'm in college. I'm published. I'm a good kid. But then in other ways, I think to myself, I am the most screwed-up girl to ever come out of a functional family . It's true. What...
